TEARS THAT HAVE NOT STOPPED FOR 83 YEARS
The Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk decimated us physically 83 years ago today at nine o’clock five minutes past. His Turkish revolutions, ideas and cherished memory are still alive and will live on forever … !
The Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk devoted his life to his country. He worked day and night for the independent and Republic of Turkey… When he was diagnosed with liver disease in early 1938, although doctors told him to rest, he did not take a minute off from working for his homeland and nation. He did language and history studies, not caring about his discomfort and pain. He tried to solve the Hatay problem.
.
A NATIONAL HERO
Turkey Medicals said that “Ataturk was going from our hands, the greatest national hero of the twentieth century was going from the hands of the nation, a great genius was going from the hands of humanity …” for those difficult days.
His desire was expressed by the 15th anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic. his goal was to be with his people in Ankara. He was saying, ”I should go to Ankara, no matter what I will be there,” but it was not possible. On October 29, at Dolmabahçe Palace, he was complaining to those next to him, “Oh, we couldn’t go to Ankara …”.
Her condition has been very severe in the last 10 days. He was usually out of it. He was trying to eat from the menu, which consisted of milk, rice water and juices.
November 8, 1938 …
Ataturk had a very severe seizure. At one point, he opened his eyes and said, “Decency.” That was his last words.
.
MOURNING FOR THE WHOLE DORM
Morning 10 November …
Everyone was with Ataturk… They were waiting in despair and sadness. Hasan Riza Soyak said to Kılıç Ali: “Kılıç look, a whole history is passing away.”
Ataturk looked at those next to him for the last time with his beautiful blue eyes. Everyone was crying. She turned her head to the side, her eyes closed. The following lines were written in the last watch book: “He passed away at 09:05.”
When he closed his eyes to life, there was mourning all over the country. All that was heard were the sounds of sobs mingled with the tears of a nation lovingly attached to its Ancestor. He still lives and will live forever in the independent and modern Republic of Turkey, which he entrusted to us, with his ideas, revolutions and cherished memory.

WORLD LEADERS TELL ABOUT ATATURK
Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister): “The death of Ataturk, who saved Turkey in the war and resurrected the Turkish Nation after the war, is a great loss not only for his homeland, but also for Europe. The sincere tears that all classes of people shed after him are nothing more than an appearance worthy of this great hero and the Ancestor of modern Turkey.”
Aristide Briand (French Prime Minister): “If Mustafa Kemal and all his soldiers were here, we would erect statues of them all.”
Franklin Roosevelt (US President): “My sadness is that my fierce desire to meet him has no longer been able to come true.”

ATATURK IN HIS OWN WORDS
– There are two Mustafa Kemal: One is me, flesh and bone, temporary Mustafa Kemal… The second is Mustafa Kemal, I can’t express him with the word “I”; he’s not me, he’s us! He is an enlightened and warlike community that strives for new ideas, new life and a great country in every corner of the country.
– Seeing me does not necessarily mean seeing my face. If you understand and feel my ideas, my feelings, this is enough.
– There may come a time when efforts may appear that want to forget me or make me forget. There may be those who deny my ideas and those who displace me. But the seeds that we sow are so strong that these ideas come back from India, Egypt, come back, their fruitful results fill the hearts.
– I leave no dogma, no frozen and stereotyped rules as my spiritual heritage. My spiritual heritage is knowledge and reason.
– I will give my life to the Turkish Nation as my greatest gift when necessary.
– Freedom and independence are my character. I am a man created with the love of independence, which is the most precious legacy of my nation and great-grandfather!
– I cannot describe the pleasure and good fortune of meeting closely and away from ostentation with my people. Whenever I see myself in front of my nation, whenever I look at the faces of a few members of my nation, the light that comes to my soul and conscience from there becomes a most precious flame of inspiration and efficiency for me!

TEARS IN THE EYES PAIN IN THE HEARTS
